Looks like it’s official with AT&T’s announcement, the up to now black BlackBerry Bold will be making an appearance in a ghostly white skin. At first I thought it a bit strange but it’s definitely growing on me.

Expect an October 18 release for $199 after 2 year contract.

According to some snaps at the CTIA, the BlackBerry Bold 9000 is about to receive a white makeover. That’s right, folks, the long revered, sexy-black Bold is going to be available in albino white on the 18th of October for a cool $199.99 after 2 year AT&T contract.

I can’t place it but there’s just something about the white Bold that’s just…not…right. Think I’ll just stick with my black Bold, tyvm.

T-Mobile’s BlackBerry Bold 9700 aka “Onyx” Image Leaked

By Albert

So what do you do when a major phone carrier (T-Mobile) e-mails you a photo of a highly anticipated, yet unannounced BlackBerry Bold 9700 before any embargo is signed? Why, you immediately post it for everyone to see, of course; and that’s exactly what Al Sacco from CIO did.

Besides the previous unsubstantiated specs that have been going around the net, here are further details straight from the horse’s mouth:

“The BlackBerry ‘Onyx’ sports a premium experience and design with a high-gloss black finish and leather grain detail on the back. Boasting features such as high-speed 3G Web browsing, Wi-Fi calling, visual voicemail and support for corporate and personal e-mail options, the ‘Onyx’ will satisfy all your on-the-go needs. Also the phone comes preloaded with mobile applications from BlackBerry App World, including Amazon MP3 store for quick and easy music downloads and TeleNav GPS Navigator for turn-by-turn directions.”

Sleek, sexy lines, beveled screen, 3G support, UMA, optical trackpad, and the same original Bold keypad? Well, dangit, T-Mobile just became that much more attractive…
